These Fall-inspired butternut squash black bean tacos will surely hit the spot on a chilly Autumn evening! I love the mix of sweetness from the squash, the spice from the red pepper flake, and the fresh lime juice.

The smell of butternut squash baking fills the whole house and I love it! You can of course use a fresh butternut squash instead but this is easier and faster to use a pre-cut bag.

Half way through baking the squash, you can give it a quick stir.

I kept mine simple but topping these tacos with sour cream, pumpkin seeds, or fresh cilantro would be yummy.

    These tacos looks so delicious. I like the change of using butternut squash instead of ground meat.

    Squash is so good for fall! I really love making stews with squash this time of year, but this idea is so much better!

It was a good day to be in the forest. The sun was It was a good day to be in the forest.
The sun was shining through the trees and the smell of pine and wet branches was therapeutic. I snowshoed and Liam sled down the hill over and over again. Now we're back inside with hot cocoa in our bellies and ready for a nap.
Hope you had a good weekend and were able to spend some time outside.

I have grown to really love Winter, and get excite I have grown to really love Winter, and get excited with each snow fall. But I am already dreaming of being barefoot in the grass and foraging for herbs in the forest. There's nothing better than a late Spring breeze blowing through an open window and watching the forest explode with color and life. We still have a few more months before I can enjoy those things, so until then, I'll try to savor the cozy days of hot tea, cookies, crunchy snowy walks, and candle light. 
Are you itching for Spring already or happy with the snow?

We lost power for most of the day yesterday becaus We lost power for most of the day yesterday because of a windstorm. It's kind of like our snow day when this happens, so we spent the day making a fort in the living room, reading books and playing games. It was the perfect cozy day to bring out our latest @literatikids box. This month's box was by far Liam's favorite so far. (I'll show you what we got in my stories today) 
Our favorite monthly surprise, @literatikids has been sending us some really amazing and beautiful books to add to our little library. Head to the link in my bio if you are interested in 25% off your first box! Signing up is super easy. You choose which club your kiddo would fall into (books are chosen by age and reading level) then the 5 hand-selected books arrive at your door! You get a week to try out the books, then send what you don't want back for free. So far we have loved every book we have received! 📚 
When the power came back on last night, Liam and I were actually bummed😆 I love having a tech-free day and he loves building forts and using candles for light. He also loves when I cook a meal with our camp stove at home. It was nice to have running water again, though. That I definitely missed!

Have you ever put together a book basket? I use t Have you ever put together a book basket? 
I use to do these a lot when my son was a toddler and I decided to  make one today for #mtnwildstorytime to see how my 8 year old would like it. I was very surprised that he really loved it!! Even though everything in this basket are items we already own, it all seemed new and novel to him presented in a basket. Easiest story time ever! You can make these book baskets with any picture book, and I already have about a dozen ideas to share with you! Gather up things around your house that fit the theme or setting of the book. This could be a snack mentioned in the book, toys of the characters, coloring pages, seasonal items.... 
I gathered up some bear and wolf stuffed animals, wood toys, plastic toy animals, and paper masks. 
While we read through Bear and Wolf by Daniel Salmieri, my kiddo played with the bear and wolf toys and pulled out his rock collection and toy trees and set up a little forest scene. This story takes place during the Winter, so he took some white felt and laid that on the ground for snow. Then he decided he wanted to read through his wolf facts book (wolves are his favorite animal) and we watched some educational videos online about bears and wolves.  It was a long story time but the best one we have had in awhile. 
Happy reading ! 📚
